Back Divestment from Iran

Members of Congress have introduced the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act of 2009 (H.R. 1327 in the House and S. 1065 in the Senate), which authorizes state and local governments to divest from companies investing in Iran's petroleum and natural gas sector and protects fund managers who divest from such companies from potential lawsuits.

The lead cosponsors of the House bill are Reps. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Mark Kirk (R-IL).

The Senate bill was introduced by Sens. Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Robert Casey (D-PA).

Please urge your members of the House and Senate to support this critical legislation.
